Self Worth is Your Birthright

The bird's message
a story of courage and fire
as a deep truth awakens
the felt experience
of self worth
here
on earth
 at last

This message is just a few lines long, but the journey to embody self worth can be decades. Our self worth is imprinted on us as a young age, embedded in our psyche so deeply, it's hard to know where to begin to undo the negative messaging. Of course, it's rarely intentionally put upon us, but often as a result of unresolved traumas in other people. We absorb the energies around us and then process them in our own ways, coming to conclusions about ourselves, and our place in the world. 

Understanding the messaging and beliefs we took on and replacing them with new messages; and taking action outside our comfort zone are two things that can help. It seems to be a process of daily actions, daily rephrasing, and constant vigilance in watching our thoughts. And the stakes are high and the change needs to start now!

How amazing would it be if we could just close our eyes and leap into a new version of ourself, not where all our supposed “flaws” are fixed, but simply a version where we have deep self worth!

Do you know how free and powerful we would be!!?

Well, the time is now.

What has become very clear to me, is that low self worth is very destructive, not just to ourselves, but to others. When self esteem is low, it is very difficult to be generous. We think that putting ourselves down is humble, but it actually forces us to invert into self absorption and feeling sad. We focus so much energy on proving that we ARE worthy, or on earning love (which can't actually be earned since it's unconditional!) that we can't share our inherent gifts and love with the world.

Self Worth is our birth right. Self Worth is integral to living a fully expressed life. It is the basic ingredient in being able to give to others here on earth. It is time to take a stand, for ourselves and those around us, so that the world does not miss out on the one in a trillion phenomenon that has graced this world - ourselves.

Yes, you were right all along. Self worth is the single most important aspect of your existence and a non-negotiable requirement of receiving your heart's desires. Deep self worth - feeling truly worth of being a live - is a lot like love. Is it not love that gives and sustains life?  

So, "if all you need is love" is too cliche, replace "love" with "self worth", and you have arrived in the same place.

And now that you know this, why would you spend another moment obsessing over an unfulfilled want, for the only way to it, is to deep dive into rebuilding your self worth. 

Building Self Worth

Building self-worth is serious process that usually involves digging deep to the wounds that echo the deeply embedded low self worth beliefs that run the show of our lives. These wounds are usually from traumas, early childhood ones that often later get reinforced by adult ones. 

Healing and reprogramming happen at a level deeper than thought, and much research has found that the way in is through the body, mindful awareness to it. 

​Some healing modalities that I'm finding helpful include somatic experiencing ancestral clearing meditations. The most important part is to find someone you trust to do this with you. I do NOT recommend using a book or audio and doing it alone, because reprogramming trauma beliefs requires an external regulator outside us - essentially acting as the calm parent we didn't have when our nervous system was being wired.  Some may find doing it alone works, but for me, someone with cPTSD and a child of an alcoholic, doing it alone was actually harmful.
